600 Carts, at 20_l._ each £12,000
600 Horses, at 25_l._ each 15,000
600 Sets of harness, at 2_l._ per set 1,200
600 Ladders, at 5_s._ each 150
1200 Baskets, at 2_s._ each 120
1200 Shovels, at 2_s._ each 120
-------
Being a total capital of £28,590

If, therefore, we assert that the capital of this trade is between
25,000_l._ and 30,000_l._ in value, we shall not be far wrong either
way.
Of the annual income of the same trade, it is almost impossible to
arrive at any positive results; but, in the absence of all authentic
information on the subject, we may make the subjoined conjecture.
